Since DOSBox can't seem to do CONFIG.SYS, is there a way to start inside of the options batch portion with a replacement program?

Yes. First, disable DosBox's built in ANSI support. If the preferred ANSI
program is a device driver (i.e. a SYS file; or an EXE but must be loaded as
a device driver), it can be loaded using one of below device driver loader
tools:

- DEVLOAD from FreeDOS.

- DYNALOAD from PC-DOS 7+.

- SETDRV from PTS-DOS.

- CTLOAD. I can't remember its origin, but Google suggest it's from one of
Creative Labs' SoundBlaster driver/application package.

And a bunch more. You can find it using the correct search query.

Some loaders may not be compatible with a specific device driver, so get and
keep all of the tools.

If the preferred ANSI program is not a device driver, it can be simply run
from the command line.

To load it automatically, load it from DosBox's AUTOEXEC configuration. See
DosBox's sample configuration file, or DosBox's documentation.
